Doubled down on all the worst aspects, characters making stupid decisions and refusing to communicate with each other unless of course they're against the clock in which case they stop to state the obvious to each other. I watched the last two episodes at 1.25 speed.
Yikes. Watched only the first episode of season 3 but has lost all momentum and energy for it. Good to know I wasn't missing much.
Probably one of the worst seasons of TV I've ever watched.
Season 3 is out in the wild.
Final season drops on Wednesday.
Ah right, I see it
1 -> 2 was about a year and a bit
but
2 -> is less than a year
Well, if my own post is to be believed, Season 2 dropped end of October so yeah - it'll be less than a year between seasons. Maybe CoVid jiggered with the scheduling a little?
Looks like they might have a nice neat idea for finishing it off.
Time Travel to stop the keys ever being made maybe .. i dunno.
Yeah what gives! Or was it just a big gap between 1 and 2.. I can't remember.
Classic Netflix 3 season cut off. This feels to have come around very quickly; can't have been a year?
Love that plummy English accent of the evil captain.
Full trailer for the final season which drops August 10th
Looking forward to it, especially the redcoat captain's especially plummy English accent lol
All episodes drop August 10th
Final season teaser
Will end with season 3.
Just from the trailer it looks a bit more raw/scary and less child friendly from the netflix version.
Yeaah actually. Now that I think about it.
annnnd finished season 2.. Overall, it was alright. Dragged down a bit by a noticeable dip in quality in the middle of the season I think.. highlighted by a return to form in the last two episodes.
At the end I was picking up some vibes of
Narnia with the passing of the magic from one generation to the next
2.10: I think the
battle and the wings and how it all went down at the house was done well but also like
Rusfus's mother coming back and the writers remembering Lucas (cos I forgot!)
Then Bode and the mother looking through the memories!
Then Eden! 😲This soldier dude looks like he could be a pretty mean baddie next season. I assume it might end up a bit of him vs (his decendent?) Mr. Bennett, the new teacher from the school.
Future: Well.. it's setup for a season 3 and looks like it could be good. Given this seasons dip, I'd be hoping they release it during a lull so it doesn't get distracted from too much.
2.9: Oh 😲
Jackies gone?!!? 😲 Didn't even ping on my radar as a possibility!
And! Rufus's mother is back!
Earlier I thought the performance of the mother, Nina Locke (Darby Stanchfield), turned up to an 11 for the trauma of all the events happening around her. The performance level was like a sea change.
Good find. I hadn't known there was a cancelled pilot out there. Weird seeing familiar beats and moments with a different cast. It's all a bit flatter than the netflix show, maybe that's just me. Has that distinct "network television" vibe about it.
So I got it in my head to go back and watch the trailer for the cancelled version that starred Sarah Bolger and Miranda Otto
And while I was looking I stumbled on this
Full pilot. Haven't watched it yet myself and only 360p but thought some here may be interested.
2.8: Alright, alright, that's
the origin story of the keys and keymaking then.
lining up now for a .. I'm guessing.. confrontation with Gabe episode and then a battle, save the day/cliffhanger and wrap up finale.
On episode 7 myself and in my increasingly large book of clichés or tropes that should probably die?
When characters confidently announce (usually to stirring music) "it ends [today|tonight]". There are 3 more episodes after this folks; it clearly doesn't. 😂
2.7: Uh oh!
It's like.. a demon making key I think. So.. maybe an upcoming army of demons.
Duncan saying goodbye to Erin felt deeper than the losing Erin scene. Felt like they'd given enough time to invest in Duncans story for it but not enough for Erins story.
Just finished season 2.
Definitely a step down from season 1 I really like the concept but the writing is poor, characters make poor decisions so that the plot can go in a certain way or not being suspicious of behavior for reasons, like Bode never mentioned to Kinsey that Gabe came over to use the ghost key, that never came up over dinner? I got really frustrated by the way people just casually left keys lying around and so many times people would use the head key while leaving the door to their room wide open. I enjoy the concept but some of the writing is really clunky at times. Some interesting things lined up for season 3 though.
2.6: I really thought..
there was gonna be a fight at the start of that episode .. like a surprise fight.. but now it's gonna be a planned fight next episode.
That sucked so bad for Erin. A "let's split up moment" without saying it.
That was a weird bit of cross promotion, especially for a show that never got renewed and ended on a cliffhanger. That Dark Crystal show was fantastic and that little clip gave me a sad we'll never get more.
Ah the horror stuff just rings a little weird that a whole group of Gen Zs would be that stoked into old horror movies to am obsessive degree. I mean, they have taste and modern mainstream horror is kinda shít - but that's beside the point 😆
When Bode was watching Dark Crystal on his tablet I was thinking he was going to be in for a surprise when he saw what other Netflix originals were available.
As for the interest in old horror films, sure I wasn't alive at the time of a load of the hammer horror films but I'm familiar with them. But I guess I first watched them back when there were only 6 channels and had to watch whatever was on, so not really much choice. 🤔
I.. I just assumed kids these days were into some wierd old cultural stuff 😁
Episode 3 and this may sound weird but the most unrealistic and unbelievable element in this show is that a bunch of Generation Z kids would have a manic love for old 70s horror. Or would know who Tom Savini is to name their group 😆 they'd be James Wan fanboys or somesuch.
2.5: Well..
That's all coming together now. They've got Duncan back his memories, they know Dodge is in Gabe, Bode will know it was Rufus's Mom.
So maybe a big fight out with Dodge now? Or maybe dodge gets taken out and Eden takes over.. i dunno
Nuts! I miss-numbered that one. Was for 2.4
